Answer:
9^(-12)= 9x10^-12
Step-by-step explanation:
The exponent is the number of placements that means
ex.,
if we have any number with another number in the exponent, this indicates the number of multiples or if the number is in a reduced form for the number of placement after or before in zeros;
Example:
for a positive number let say we have the number 10^3
this will equal 10,000.0 there are 3 zeros after the 10
In case of a negative exponent
let say we have
10^-3, then we expand it by moving the placement to the left side of the number, that whould be 0.001
So for the original question we are summose to move the number to the right by adding 12 zeros
9^-12= 9.0^-12= 0.000,000,000,009
